The Gbiota club is a social movement that makes Gbiota food—real food grown in nutrient-rich, biologically active soil—widely available at an affordable price, while fairly rewarding everyone involved.
What Is the Gbiota Club?
The aim of the Gbiota club is to make Gbiota food readily and widely available at an affordable price. Gbiota food is essential to feed our gut biology, which forms part of our intelligent control system.
The Gbiota club is a social action initiative to provide communities with food that will make them healthy, based on a system of fair rewards for growers, coordinators, and supporters.

The Gbiota club is based on two key concepts.
1. Our Intelligent Control System
We know our guts contain trillions of cells from thousands of different species. But our guts do much more than help digest food. These cells communicate with each other, just like circuits in a computer, to create intelligence: the gut brain. Our gut brain then communicates with our head brain which, together with our DNA, forms a master intelligent control system for our bodies.
This system is like the cockpit of our body, regulating many activities and determining our physical and mental health. We do not get fat simply because we eat too much; our intelligent control system decides we need to store more fat, so we are driven to eat more food.
Likewise, if our control system detects we are under attack from a virus, it responds via our powerful immune system. If it fails to react, or overreacts, we can become seriously ill or die.
Our gut brain, as part of this all-powerful intelligent control system, needs to be fed gut food. We must deliberately include in our diet food grown and eaten specifically to feed our gut biology. This is Gbiota food—food to feed our gut biota.
The earliest diets were nutrient-dense and gut-supportive, but low in energy.
2. Our Need to Form Part of a Cooperative Group
One reason we are the dominant species on Earth is that we naturally form cooperative groups which work for the benefit of the whole.
Long ago, humans learned that a single individual was easy prey for a ferocious beast. But by forming a group and throwing stones together, the beast would leave and people would survive. The group benefits—and individuals benefit by belonging to that group.
We have tended to forget this lesson in our modern era of individual greed and profit. To grow the food our guts need, we cannot rely solely on the profit motive. We need cooperative groups to grow, deliver, and make Gbiota food available at a reasonable price.

Join the Gbiota Club
You can join the Gbiota club at several levels.
Look, Learn and Chat
At first you may simply want to observe and learn. If you are interested in joining a club to talk about food, health, and sustainable food production, you are welcome.
You can subscribe by entering your name and email at the bottom of any post on the website. If you later decide it is not for you, you can unsubscribe at any time.
Home Grower
You may wish to grow some of your own Gbiota food. The website contains many posts on how to grow Gbiota food. All this information is shared under Creative Commons, so you can use it free of charge for your own personal growing.
Buyer or “Biofoodie”
You may not have the time or space to grow your own Gbiota food, or you may want to grow some and buy the rest to increase variety. In that case, you can become a buyer—what we call a “biofoodie.”
Group Leader
The local group leader is the key person who makes the group work. Leaders need to study the website, understand how to grow Gbiota food, support and grow both biofoodie and grower membership, and organise delivery systems.
Being a leader involves work, but the Gbiota movement is not a charity relying only on unpaid volunteers. We believe in fair rewards. Leaders can build their own businesses and be paid through commissions on sales and organising delivery services.
We are keen to recruit local leaders. They should contact Colin directly at: colinaustin@bigpond.com
This website has three main types of posts:
- Gbiota – about the club and what is happening.
- Food – about food for health.
- Growing – about the technology of growing Gbiota food.
Fair Trading
Food is the single most important factor in our health, yet our food industry is dominated by mega companies focused on profit, spending billions of dollars trying to convince us their products are healthy.
The Gbiota club is a social action movement to provide communities with food that genuinely supports health, based on fair rewards for everyone in the system.
